The Skagit County Board of Commissioners just today approved a temporary moratorium on data centers that pauses for six months new permit applications for data centers in unincorporated Skagit County. This will give the county time to develop a more robust plan. ๐๐ฟ๐ง๐ณ๐ฒ
If you can't tax rich people on the unrealized gains from stocks then why do property taxes on middle class folks keep going up based on the unrealized value of a house?
$1.3 BILLION a year goes to disability lawyers. Hold up, I'm not mad at lawyers, they're doing their jobs. I'm just confused about why people need them. You know ya dawg gotta story. #walkingwithgee๐ถ๐พ
73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:
-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare
-Universal healthcare
(But get your mom flowers, too)
Iโm really getting sick of Republicans telling the entire country how we should be living when the majority of their states are crime riddled, welfare reliant shit holes that are completely reliant on blue states funding them.
The GOP loves to call blue states โfailed,โ but the richest states in America are overwhelmingly blue. ๐ฐ
New York. New Jersey. Massachusetts. California. Washington. Connecticut. Maryland.
Blue states power the economy, fund the country, and keep America moving.
Thatโs not failure. Thatโs the GOP lying again. ๐จ

We are the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We can do this. We just need the political will to fight for it.
That's what we're building. Together. ๐
I canโt wrap my head around American lower and middle class people thinking free healthcare, universities, and public services would HURT them financially?
Literally allowing the billionaire class to flourish with YOUR tax dollars. Itโs delusional.
We have more income and wealth inequality in America than ever before.
Meanwhile, we rank 34th in the world in childhood poverty, 20% of our seniors live on $15,000 a year or less and 800,000 Americans are homeless.
We need a fundamental change in our national priorities NOW.
